It was not a race riot. It was two drunken young men got into a squable and a fight which resulted in one of the young men getting stabbed and dying.
It is serious and terribly sad, however the young man stabbed and then dying could have been black instead of white. So much of all racial tension is a result of newspapers getting into the mix and making things more horrendous than they already are. It's NEWS and must be played out in front of the entire nation. Today is a beautiful day. The sun is shining, my dog is sleeping at my feet and the young man who is black just got home from work where he is in Supervision. What more could one ask for?

susie it was not two young men it was a 39 year old man stabbing a 24 year old kid, nic had just turned 24 the month before.he was a kid compared to the man.nic may have been over 18 but to older people they are still kids,that guy is almost my moms age and i am 24 so it was not two young men just fighting.15 years between them that would be like me doing something to a 9 year old look at it that way at the age difrents.
